FOCUSING CONTROL METHOD FOR READING/WRITING OPTICAL DISC

摘要

An optical reading/writing apparatus has an optical head that includes a collimator and a lens. For efficient and reliable focusing control for writing an empty optical disk, calibration of focus offset and spherical aberration is executed by setting a boundary and performing data-reading in an OPC area only with combinations of focus offset and spherical aberration within the boundary. Accordingly, an optimum combination of focus offset and spherical aberration is determined for focusing compensation in subsequent writing operation of the empty disk.
